00:00Where do you stand on Laurence Shanklin now,

00:02the January window just around the corner?

00:04To me, it feels a bit bang out of order

00:08to start abusing him, considering Hearts

00:12are where they are in terms of their European football

00:16because of what he did last season.

00:18It's not like he's downed tools.

00:20He's working hard in every game.

00:23He's constantly on the ball.

00:24He's trying to bring other players into the game.

00:26And just for one reason or another,

00:28he just can't find the back of the nets.

00:32And the last thing you need when that's happening

00:34is to have fans getting on your back.

00:36It's so unnecessary and, quite frankly, uncalled for.

00:41But in terms of his future, he's clearly away in the summer.

00:44He's as good as said it.

00:46I don't feel like Hearts will actively try and move him

00:49on in January.

00:49Let's put it like that.

00:50Let's not forget, he's a Scotland international.

00:54So if Hearts were to consider selling him in January,

00:57they could trade off that.

00:59We know he's not going to get back

01:01to the standards of last season.

01:02But he really needs a goal.

01:05Just one will give him that confidence booster, yeah.

01:08Yeah, and it's really a shame to see someone

01:11that clearly cares so much about Hearts

01:15and being Hearts' captain and someone

01:18who's done so much as a player for the club

01:20that we're talking about him in this kind of,

01:23it might be better for all parties

01:25if he just left in January.
